French Country Style

Image
Photo by Catherine Sandin French Country style is sophisticated, yet inviting. Relaxed, yet elegant. It's a testament to simpler times, with nostalgia for a type of dignity that has faded into memory. French Country blends natural elements like wood (it can be raw or painted in distressed neutral tones) with accents of refined touches like crystal, china, and fine metals. The only bright colors to be found are in the most minuscule details: the floral pattern on the antique dinnerware; the delicate needlework on the bed spread, and of course, the fresh flowers poised nobly on every surface. To get this look, you must begin with a purge. I'm a huge fan of purging anyway, but this type of purge is intentional with an eye for design. In a French Country home, everything is functional and  beautiful. So while Marie Condo says it must either be functional or  beautiful, French Country says it must be both. Go through the room you're redesigning and remove all these t

Getting AirBnB-Ready

Image
After spending many weeks on-and-off at the ranch, we decided it was time to monetize it when we weren't there. Always better if the house can pay its own mortgage, right? We knew when we bought it that we wanted to list it on AirBnB eventually,  but I don't think we had really thought too much about what would be required to get the house ready. Here's a recap of everything we learned, in three simple steps: 1) Furnish to sleep the maximum number of guests In the county of Mariposa, Bed and Breakfasts are allowed to host a maximum of 10 guests. Look up the tourism and hospitality laws in your area to find out what your regulations are, and furnish to sleep as many as possible. I once stayed in a one-bedroom cottage that had been ingeniously engineered to sleep a miraculous ten  people, and you better believe we packed ten of us girls in there for a bachelorette weekend to remember! Keep in mind that your guests are on vacation, just looking for a good time--which do

Snow in Mariposa

Image
It was our very first weekend at Timshel house, we were sleeping on airbeds and sleeping bags, eating around an old, dark, scuffed up table (which I later refinished), and loving every minute of it! Monday was Jericho's 8th birthday and my folks were there exploring the property with us and gearing up a big to-do for the birthday boy. The weather was cold but sunny. Just right for hiking around the hills of our 40 acres.  Sunday night, we settled in around the wood-burning stove and played games together. Of course Jericho was beyond hope of sleeping. But we tried anyway, and soon enough, Monday morning arrived and brought with it a wonderful surprise--SNOW! I realize that snow in March is nothing remarkable to most people, but for us San Francisco folk, we were downright enchanted! The contrast of the white dust blanketing the vivid green moss and grass was stunning. The red bark of the Manzanita glowed in the sunlight reflected off the bright s
